Don’t know if this is the best place to report this, but it seems related.

I am noticing a related but distinct behavior on my end with the Page Attributes -> Parent Page drop down box. The two strange behaviors that I’m noticing is that 1) the Parent Page drop down box has a delayed load time in Gutenberg (seems to be lazy loaded). But then after it is loaded, I’m only getting a list of seven pages to select from as a parent page, when this site has 50+ published pages. The page that I needed to select is not available. This behavior is noticed on both new and existing pages within Gutenberg only. As a temporary work around, after I get the page setup in Gutenberg, and then saved, I go to the Quick Edit screen from within the Pages Overview screen. The expected behavior of the full list of available pages is displayed. After I have selected the desired parent page, it is still not available from within Gutenberg.

I’ve not tested or played with this further. I’m running the latest installs of both WordPress and Gutenberg as of this posting (WP 4.9.8 & Gutenberg 3.5.0). The browser console didn’t output anything of consequence related to this issue. Running in Firefox on Windows 10. I’m running the Pinnacle Free theme on my particular install. Also in a MultiSite environment.

Thank you to the dev team for all their hard work on Gutenberg!

For what it’s worth, I’m experiencing the same issue with one of my multisite secondary domains. The issue of non-www redirecting to the network registration page only occurs in the Chrome browser on our end. I do not experience the issue in Firefox, Safari, or elsewhere.

Hey @coldsjf,

Sounds like you might have some conflict with other plugins, possibly? This particular plugin has a pretty solid track record of being compatible across the board, so I would suspect a less reputable plugin may be causing issues with this one.

Also, what’s the nature of your hosting environment? Are you shared hosting or something else?

I’m completely new to the plugin, but I just installed it yesterday for the first time without any major issues unlike what you’ve reported. If you could offer just a few more details about your particular setup, that would be helpful in assessing your situation.

Hey @plaidside, Everyone on theme support for Pinnacle is probably on holiday leave today. Just visited the site and it looks like you’ve got your menu items all on one line on my desktop display (approx 1080px wide). The menu is not on the same line as your search bar though, which looks a little off on my screen (meaning that it’s adding more space to the header area than may be desired).

Let me know if your still troubleshooting this and I may be able to offer some suggestions.

Sounds like you’re on the right track Laura. That’s the genius of child themes. You can copy anything from the parent theme, tweak as you need it, and it will override the parent template file without harming anything, and you don’t loose your changes when the parent theme gets updated, which happens periodically, especially with Kadence themes. (They’re good that way!)

Now the word of caution is that if something in the parent file that you are overriding is updated (for whatever reason), you’ll probably never know it because your child theme will be referenced instead of the parent theme file.

Hey @zain0,
Did you get this figured out? Typically, it’s best to post a new inquiry like this as new thread, not as a comment on an older thread, if you want it to be more visible.
To answer your question though: you should be able to modify the background color of the header in the theme options page. Go to “Advanced Styling” sub-section on the Theme Option page, and then scroll down to “Header Background”. That should do the trick!

Hey Gianluca,
I’ve only taken a quick look at your site and the source code, but it looks like it may be a weak social media plugin or something that is causing this code to show up at the top. Take a look at your source code and you’ll see extra meta tags and other stuff that may be clues as to where your issues lie. I’m fairly confident that the issue is not with the theme or wordpress itself.

If it were one of one of my sites, it would probably be some weak code that I wrote myself that caused the error.

I’m still interested in seeing if anyone else has experienced this behavior. Judging by the lack of response, this seems to be a unique issue to my particular installation. It is possible that it has something to do with my SSL configuration or some other unique combination of environmental variables. I know that my host recently updated to PHP 5.6, but I don’t think that should be a cause for concern either.

All that said though, the only suitable fix that I have found so far is to link the files with the fully qualified URL that doesn’t get rejected by the WooCommerce check point. Then after the fact, I log in to the database and revert the links back to the relative URLs, so that they are actually linking correctly when the products are being purchased. That seems to have fixed the issue. Because I’m modifying JSON strings in the database, I’m also having to update character counts in the JSON strings as well. Clearly, not the ideal solution to the problem, but since I don’t work in large volumes of products, it’s not a big deal to update one product at a time.

I’ve re-posted this under the plugin’s support page.

Hey Auphoria,

Did you ever find a fix to your issue? I’ve a client that was using the menu editor and after saving an update, the whole interface broke on him. I’ve noticed that other Javascript related feature don’t seem to be working throughout the admin panel. Not sure why.

Thanks!

Ptahdunbar,

I’m using your WP Framework theme, which has been for the most part smooth sailing.

Could you shed some insight on the functionality behind your widgets script for the theme? I’m attempting to add additional widget fields in other parts of the template but am finding that that messes up the code that you have in place. I’m following the typical instruction for adding additional widgets.

For example, in a typical template, I would edit the functions.php and add a new function like so:

if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) {
    register_sidebar(array(
	 'name' => 'Home Sub',
	 'id' => 'home-sub',
	 'before_widget' => '<div class="home_sub_widget">',
	 'after_widget' => '</div>',
	 'before_title' => '<h4>',
	 'after_title' => '</h4>'
	 ));
}

Then in the desired template page, like sidebar.php, I would add code that looks something like this:

<?php dynamic_sidebar('home-sub'); ?>

Doing this would automatically make a new widget appear in my admin panel on the back end and then I can drag and drop into it the desired widgets to display there.

I’m using the latest version of word press-2.9.2, so perhaps this is part of the problem. Following the above steps in your template’s widgets.php file however broke the existing widget and caused it to behave strangely. Any thoughts.

Great Template otherwise. I really like the fading menus which I’ve incorporated with CSS drop shadows for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Not able to get CSS drop shadows in MS Explorer, but not a big deal.

The site I’m working on is https://www.uwnu.org/beta, which will move to https://www.uwnu.org/ when it goes live.

Thanks,
Brent

Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet? I’m seeing that this is now about three weeks old, I’m wondering if attempts to fix this were abandoned or if there was any further insight.

I’m experiencing the same issue as cgreer96 and metras3. I’ve got the email sitting on my server and the wp-mail.php script is not accessing it. At this point, I’m suspecting that there is some sort of block between my hosting account server and the remote email server as they are on different hosts.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Brent

Under “Settings > Permalinks”, select the radio button for “Custom Structure”, then insert this code:

/%category%/%postname%/

Then click “Save Changes”. That should then generate a warning that an .htaccess file needs to be generated. If your installation is working like mine, it’ll even generate the code at the bottom of the page to put in to the .htaccess . But if not, here is what I have:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Save the above code to an .htaccess file and then upload that to the root directory where your Word Press files are located. That should do the trick. making for very nice URLs without the “index.php” name in the code.

Maybe this helps,
Brent

No sure if this will help, but when I selected a static page to be set at the “front page” or “home page”, there is a link right below it set as the default page for posts. This is all under the Setting > Reading tab. So I had to recreate a static page called “Blog” and then set the setting called “Posts page:” so that this “Blog” static page was set as the holding page for posts.

Not sure if that’s your hang up or if this even helps. I’ve no experience with the forums.

Best,
Brent
